“Very Complete – Pretty Much”
America through its arrogance, hubris and sheer stupidity has created the circumstances for the world’s oil price to remain about $150 a barrel for as long as Iran wishes to keep it there. Kudos Donald, you dumb fuck.

You Don’t Have a Sweet Tooth – You Have a Problem
Yesterday, I was sitting in the hospital, awaiting having the staples removed from my leg. Almost two years have gone by since I had a serious compound fracture of my leg due to a vehicle accident. I’m certainly not a kid, or even remotely young, but having much less time going forward than looking back,…

America Has Become a Land Of Angry Religious Zealots
About two months ago I made a trip on my sport touring motorcycle down to Minnesota. The plan was to travel across Minnesota to Duluth and then travel up Lake Superior’s coastline to photograph the fall colours. What transpired was a lesson into how quickly America has devolved into two camps that seem to viscerally…

Trump:
Riding Harley Davidson Into the Ground Harley Davidson hasn’t made a right decision, that I can remember. Yesterday, the company’s plan to avoid European custom duties, failed. HD had been sued over its attempt to import motorcycles into Europe, without paying customs duties. Rideapart.com reported yesterday that; According to the EU’s Court of Justice, “The…

Thanksgiving? No, We’re Living On Borrowed Time
Unless you’ve living in a cave in Mongolia without any form of connection to the outside world, you have to realize that we, you, me and virtually everyone on earth, are living on borrowed time.

Unwittingly Ignorant

The Presidential election in America this month, was to me, incomprehensible. How is it that a majority of Americans, including many minorities, blacks and hispanics, voted for a man who is publicly, knowingly, a racist. They are voting for a man who uses immigrants, minorities, especially latinos and blacks, as political scapegoats in order to…

From American Dream to American Nightmare
I grew up watching John F. Kennedy on the nightly news, on what was a circular RCA Black and White TV whose picture quality approximated looking through a mayonnaise jar, empty but not yet cleaned. I grew up poor, but never saw myself as disadvantaged. I could change that. I knew I had the means…

Hope…is an ephemeral thing.
Reflections on aging, and how lies have destroyed trust. Trust once lost, is almost impossible to regain. And so it is in this election in the United States that one man, without credibility, has destroyed peoples belief in facts. Throughout my entire life, in fact, until the 2015 U.S. election, I never doubted the media’s…

The Gathering Storm
Tomorrow, America will decide its future, and Americans will either seek to continue the great democratic experiment of America or decry democracy in favour of an amorphous and dangerous future. A future not only filled with uncertainty, but one without stability or predictability. Not since 1861 has America been so divided. Slavery was the issue…
